mate the paint looks killer. not sure about bonnet bulge, but wheels and paint look dam nice. top effort.
I say remove mudflaps, but its your car. If you want them there just keep them.

ditch the mudflaps, they scrap on everything anyway once the car is lowered. Do it really soon if you plan to before they mark the paint.

Looks great, but I say keep the mud flaps, they do work!
Im not a fan of the rims though, in the same class as 12 slotters on e series IMO. They look a lot better on old school cars. Other than that very clean!

New paint looks great man, makes me miss my fairlane.. The bonnet buldge suits it IMO. Look tuff.
Also the mudflaps, I think leave them on. They dont look out of place but if you get it lowered you may run in with some scraping issues as EA2BA said. Nice neat fairlane you have there buddy.

yes I reckon its low enuf as it is. Lowering it further will cause more head aches for the fully sick look. Not really worth the pain

I think taking the mudflaps off you'd definately give the car a cleaner look.
The BA bulge looks very shmick too NC!

Looks great. Have you thought about keeping the mudflaps, but cutting them a bit shorter? Like level with the bottom of the bodywork, rather than hanging down so far? Maybe even changing the colour of them. Colour coded or maybe even (I'm probly gonna get bagged for this!) get little chromies made up?
And I'm with everyone else on the nudge bar issue....dump it.

Nice looking lane, Very clean looking and the bulge isnt too bad at all
 Just a few ideas...... 1) Ditch the Mudflaps 2) Ditch the nudgebar (Only justify if you are a country bumpkin, over 60 or think its a 4x4) 3) LTD grill (makes it look pimp) 4) Clear Repeaters 5) Dump it more at the front

very nice, a bit over the top with the nudge bar, mudflaps and chrome bits on wheel arches. Take the mudflaps and the nudgebar off and lower it a bit more. Long cars tend to look real good when low.
Yeh, how much was the re-spray? |

Looks nice, but you gotta pimp it up a bit more, it is a Fairlane after all! Ditch the flaps, the bullbar, the chrome wheel arch thingies, and put an LTD grille on it. Not sure if I like the bulge, but I won't know for sure until you clean it up a bit, especially that front bullbar.
